Laser Eye Surgery

Laser eye surgery is carried out using two methods, LASIK and LASEK. In LASIK operation, a thin flap (flap) is removed from the cornea with an automatic instrument (microkeratome). The corneal tissue under the valve is reshaped by laser application. The valve is closed back to the laser-shaped corneal surface and your surgery is complete.

Lasek operation is a method of shaping the cornea after the corneal epithelium is stripped by forming a flap. Flap is also created in this method. However, the Lasek flap is created manually by applying alcohol to the corneal surface epithelium.

In laser eye surgery, the procedure and technique are determined as a result of detailed medical eye examination and tests that carried out by a specialist ophthalmologist in Istanbul In addition, patients are informed about the operational process and costs in line with the evaluations that are made.

​

Post-Operative Results

After in laser eye surgeries that are implemented to provide clear vision without glasses in astigmatism, myopic and hypermetropic patients, values below 0.50 are interpreted as successful and the patient does not need to wear glasses.

How much does laser eye surgery cost in Turkey?

Luviacure all-inclusive laser eye surgery packages start from £2,000. The package covers the procedure in a JCI-accredited hospital in Istanbul, hotel accommodation for two nights, private airport and hospital transfers and an English-speaking coordinator throughout the stay. Flights and travel insurance are not included. The price is fixed in writing before you travel, and a price match applies against comparable written quotes. Luviacure is a UK-registered company, Companies House No. 12557749, and payments are made to a UK business bank account.

Am I suitable for laser eye surgery?

Suitability can only be confirmed by examination, not from your glasses prescription alone. It depends on how stable your prescription has been, the thickness of your cornea, your tear film and whether you have any existing eye condition. Laser eye surgery can treat myopia up to 10 dioptres, astigmatism up to 6 dioptres and hypermetropia up to 6 dioptres. Patients are generally assessed as unsuitable if the prescription has changed recently, if the cornea is too thin, or if there is significant dry eye. Luviacure arranges a full pre-operative assessment in Istanbul before surgery is confirmed, and if the assessment finds you unsuitable the surgery does not go ahead.

Is laser eye surgery in Turkey safe for UK patients?

Safety depends on the surgeon, the facility and the pre-operative assessment rather than on the country. Three things are worth verifying with any provider before booking: whether the hospital holds JCI accreditation, which you can check yourself on the JCI register, whether the procedure is carried out by a specialist ophthalmologist, and whether the company is UK-registered so the contract is enforceable at home. Luviacure meets all three. Recognised risks include infection, temporary discomfort, dry or watering eyes and temporary sensitivity to light, and these are discussed with you before you consent rather than afterwards.

What happens if I have a problem after laser eye surgery once I am back in the UK?

Aftercare is the part worth checking before booking, since many providers stop once you fly home. Luviacure is UK-registered, Companies House No. 12557749, and aftercare continues for 12 months from the London office with a named UK-based coordinator who liaises with the surgical team in Istanbul. Dry eye, halos and fluctuating vision are common in the first weeks and usually settle. Because the contract is governed by English law and payment is made to a UK business bank account, recourse sits under UK jurisdiction rather than abroad.

How long do I need to stay in Turkey for laser eye surgery?

Laser eye surgery normally requires two nights in Istanbul. The procedure itself takes 10 to 15 minutes for both eyes under topical anaesthesia with eye drops, and patients return to the hotel the same day. A follow-up check is carried out before departure. Return to work is usually within 48 hours after LASIK and up to seven days after LASEK. Luviacure arranges hotel accommodation and private transfers around your confirmed flight times.

Luviacure is a UK-registered medical tourism company, Companies House No. 12557749, at 107-111 Fleet Street, London EC4A 2AB, arranging laser eye surgery in JCI-accredited hospitals in Istanbul.

As I’m sure many people are, I was very skeptical about going to a foreign country for my surgery, however the process was very straight forward and Busra was with me every step of the way, helping with any anxiety you may have pre and post surgery. Everything from the hotels to the transfers were perfect, I can’t fault the way they do things and if you’re thinking of changing your life for the better, choose luviacure.

I was truly impressed how organised Luviacure have been from the moment I contacted them regards too my surgery. I was well looked after by my host Bushra in Istanbul who was available at any point during my visit before, whilst there and even on my return into UK. Bushra was very professional, friendly and very supportive throughout and I would definitely be going back again for any other surgery i intend too complete in the future. I would highly recommend Luviacure to anyone as you will not be disappointed and your in safe hands. Thank you Luviacure..🙏🏼😘
